If so, how will all the pennies be recycled or disposed of? And how much will that cost us?

Yes because it cost 1.6 cents to make 1 penny! Metal prices have skyrocketed. It aslo costs more than 5 cents to make a nickel. It is estimated that the US Mint would lose over 340million dollars in revenue to continue making pennies.

The short answer is yes....the long answer is that they have been considering it for about 30 years. They have also been trying to get rid of the paper dollar.

Yes and I'm a little irritated cuz I'm sure everything will be rounded up, not down, and you ask a couple more good questions there, too!
